When you're thinking about purchasing a house in Arlington County, should you worry about loving the seller?
I was taught the Golden Rule when I was very young and it has served me well. But how can the Golden Rule apply when the other party has a house selling for $749,900 but you want to pay $712,405? It doesn't mean a seller in 22203 doesn't expect you the buyer to pursue tough negotiations. It doesn't mean that you have to buy 3-bedroom home when you need one more bedroom. But it does mean that:
We don't hang up on people. We pick up when we can. If we miss a call, we return a call. We never want to argue or yell. If there is no possibility for agreement, it's time to move on—without hurt feelings.
